Certain U.S. Tax Considerations
The following is a summary of the principal U.S.
federal income tax consequences of ownership of the Notes. The
summary concerns U.S. Holders (as defined in the Prospectus
Supplement) who hold the Notes as capital assets and does not
deal with special classes of holders such as dealers in
securities or currencies, persons who hold the Notes as a hedge
against currency risks or who hedge any currency risks of holding
the Notes, tax-exempt investors, or U.S. Holders whose functional
currency is other than the U.S. dollar or persons who acquire, or
for income tax purposes are deemed to have acquired, the Notes in
an exchange, or for property other than cash. The discussion
below is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and final, temporary and proposed United States Treasury
Regulations. Persons considering the purchase of the Notes should
consult with and rely solely upon their own tax advisors
concerning the application of U.S. federal income tax laws to
their particular situations as well as any consequences arising
under the laws of any other domestic or foreign taxing
jurisdiction.
Except where otherwise indicated below, this summary
supplements and, to the extent inconsistent, replaces the
discussion under the caption "United States Taxation" in the
Prospectus Supplement.
The Notes are issued at a premium equal to the amount
by which the purchase price exceeds the principal amount payable
on the Stated Maturity Date. A U.S. Holder may elect to amortize
such bond premium, if any, under Code Section 171. If this
premium is not amortized, a U.S. Holder will generally realize a
short-term capital loss when the Note matures. If a U.S. Holder
elects to amortize the premium, a portion of the premium will
<PAGE>
offset the taxable ordinary interest income and, correspondingly,
decrease the U.S. Holder's tax basis in the Note for each tax
year. This decrease to the U.S. Holder's tax basis will reduce or
eliminate any short-term capital loss (or increase any gain) when
the Note matures or is sold or exchanged.
The amount of premium that a U.S. Holder may amortize for a
tax year is the amount attributable to such year determined on
the basis of the Note's yield to maturity and compounding at the
end of each accrual period. An election to amortize bond premium
will apply not only to the Notes, but to all taxable bonds held
by the U.S. Holder at the beginning of the tax year to which the
election applies, and also to all bonds thereafter acquired. The
election is binding for all subsequent tax years and may not be
revoked without the IRS's consent.
